1. CNN's is just one report on the plight of Syrian Christians (or Arab Christians in the Middle East).  What type of bias does the media display by ignoring this or similar stories?

2. Christianity, which originated in the Middle East in the 1st century AD, had been one of the major religions of the region from 4th-century Byzantine reforms and until the Arab Muslim conquests of the mid-to-late 7th century AD. Christians now make up 5% of the Middle Eastern population, down from 20% in the early 20th century. International Business Times reported in January 2016: “Middle East Christians Flee: Populations In Syria, Egypt, Palestine and Iraq Dwindle Amid Strife”
Should this be a news story? Explain your answer.

CHALLENGE: Do an internet search for 'Muslim hate crimes' or 'anti-Muslim attacks.' Then do a search for 'Christian hate crimes in the Middle East' or 'anti-Christian attacks.'  Does the media fairly and accurately report on these topics?
